La Soirée des Grands

Presented by

The Fondation des jeunes de la DPJ invites you to the fourth edition of the Soirée des Grands, a major fundraising event that has become a can’t-miss event on Quebec’s philanthropic scene.

The theme of this year’s event is “Possibles lumineux” (Bright Possibilities). For a young person being followed by the DYP, the future can sometimes seem bleak. And yet, a caring presence, support at the right time, or an opportunity offered can rekindle hope and pave the way toward a future filled with confidence.

The bright possibilities are those moments when everything changes for the better : an encounter that provides reassurance, a motivating project, or a safety net that allows young people to be bold and to dream. They embody a collective commitment to illuminate pathways and transform life trajectories, one action at a time.

Throughout the evening, light will be at the heart of the experience, figuratively and literally. It will spotlight actions big and small that make a real difference, as well as hopeful testimonials. Together, let’s shine a light on new avenues for youths in the care of the DYP and help them build a future that lives up to their potential!
